This paper explores some ideas on the determination of the standard of proof
applicable to the corroboration of factual hypotheses and the decisions to be taken by the
State Administration in environmental sanctioning proceedings regulated by Law No.
20.417, which creates the Superintendence of the Environment in Chile. As a starting
point, this work analyzes the conception that predominates in the continental system on
the administrative sanctioning law and evidential law and reasoning.
The specific objectives are, analyze: (i) the political-moral, legal and factual
factors or elements that must be considered in determining the standard of proof; (ii) the
eventual concurrence of more than one standard of proof, or the application of a "moving"
standard of proof; and (iii) who should determine the applicable standard of proof and
how.
It is concluded that in the administrative-sanctioning practice and literature there
is a serious problem of misunderstanding that transcends in an inadequate and insufficient
solution to the problem of the distribution of the risks of error associated with the
sanctioning decision, predominantly because the standard of proof is formulated in
analogical terms with the criminal procedure, ignoring the particularities of the
administrative and environmental sanctioning proceedings
